Would carbonates react faster as lumps or as powder?
As powder because the smaller the particle size the faster the reaction
How do you get locust bean gum from a powder to a solution?
You have to use warm water. You will get some fish eyes or lumps. You just need to keep mixing.
What chemical test could be used to identify both of the limestones you examined?
Reaction with acid to produce a gas, which is passed through limewater and goes milky if the gas is CO2. This would show the presence of carbonate in the sample. Other tests include strongly heating the sample. Limestone decomposes to quick lime (CaO) and carbon dioxide. If you continue heating the lumps you will see glow, a white glow of limelight, an incandescent reaction which used to be used to light theatre stages. Limelight looks best if you use a hydrogen oxygen flame, but you still get a reasonable glow with normal gas flame. When cooled the lumps will react exothermically with water to produce slaked lime, Ca(OH)2
What is the name of large lumps of rock that orbit the sun?
Large lumps of rock that orbit the sun could refer to planets, asteroids, meteors.
What type of lava that erupts underwater and takes the form of round lumps?
Lava that erupts underwater and takes the form of round lumps is called pillow lava
Would carbonates react faster as lumps or as powder?
As powder because the smaller the particle size the faster the reaction
Which has a larger surface area powder or lumps?
A powder has a larger surface area.
When lumps of ice are added to the acid the rate of the reaction slowed down give two reasons why this would happen?
The reaction is slower because lumps were used instead of smaller pieces thus the surface area is small and so the acid has less space to act on and the ice decreases the temperature, the higher the temperature the faster the reactions
What is the Most popular form of Fertilizer - Flakes Granules Lumps?
powder form
What is sorted fine particles or powder to remove lumps or larger pieces?
skit
What burn quickly powered coal small pieces of coal or lumps of coal?
when coal is pulvorised(powder ) the surface area will be more so it cathes fire early than lumps.

Is sifting flour a chemical charge?
No. The flour stays chemically the same. Sifting mixes air with the flour and breaks up lumps.
What compound has Ba0 as their formula?
BaO is the formula for Barium Oxide. ( aka, barium monoxide or protoxide ... calcined baryta) BaO is white to yellowish-white lumps or powder. It is POISONOUS !!!
How do you monitor the rate of reaction when lumps of calcium carbonate dissolve in dilute hydrochloric acid solution?
by measuring the amout of gas produced, divided by the time taken
Can iodine be used on lumps on horses?
Betadine, not iodine is the commonly used disinfectant in horses because iodine has more risk of causing localized skin irritation and chemical blistering. Betadine can be used on lumps however it is not effective at treating conditions that are not bacterial or fungal in nature.
